Line 36:

Princess Rosalinda María Montoya Fioré is about to be crowned queen of the small nation of Costa Luna. However, her coronation rehearsal is interrupted by General Magnus Kane, the dictator of neighboring country Costa Estrella, who invades her palace with his agents and attempts to capture the royal family and take over the country. Major Joe Mason, an agent of the Princess Protection Program (P.P.P.), a secret organization funded by royal families that looks after endangered princesses, whisks her away to safety via helicopter. Kane's agents, however, succeed in capturing her widowed mother, Queen Sofía.

TheWhile the P.P.P. hidesis given the mission to find a way to legally remove Kane and liberate Rosalinda's kingdom, they hide her in Joe's home in Lake Monroe, [[Louisiana]], where she meets his insecure, tomboyish teenage daughter, Carter. Carter works at the family bait shop and dreams of going to the homecoming dance with her crush, Donny, though her classmate Ed secretly has a crush on her. Rosalinda poses as "Rosie Gonzalez", Carter's cousin from [[Iowa]]. Though Carter initially treats her with hostility, she warms up to her after Rosie explains her situation, and the two become close friends. Carter teaches Rosie how to act like an average American teenager, while Rosie shows Carter how to disarm those that scorn them, especially resident mean girls Chelsea Barnes and Brooke Angels. Rosie soon becomes popular at their high school.

In an attempt to trick Rosie into exposing her ___location, General Kane announces plans to forcibly marry Sofía. Having learned Rosie's identity from a magazine, Brooke threatens to expose her unless she drops out of the vote for homecoming queen. Rosie reads of the pending nuptials in the magazine and tells Carter that she has decided to return home. Knowing Costa Luna is still too dangerous, Carter devises a plan to disguise herself as Rosie and use herself as bait to lure Kane into capture. Carter calls Mr. Elegante, Rosie's royal dressmaker and friend, for help with her plan. He tells Kane that Rosie will be attending the homecoming dance and plans to wear a blue dress, which he actually sends to Carter, giving Rosie a pink one. In the meantime, Rosie agrees to stay for the dance.
